Arriving in the town—not so ancient as its first documented mention suggests by geographer Ptolemy as Virunium, Slavic for the place of crows, the lake‘s name comes from the Wendish meaning German sea, as it was leveled and rebuilt during a succession of wars and revolutions and takes its present form preserving some of the Altstadt after public outcry during DDR times when the city was partially demolished as part of a modernisation effort as one of the four Soviet ballistic theatre nuclear depots in East Germany, Темп-С short range missiles banned under treaties that outlawed intermediate range warheads.
The successful protest to conserve a part of the historic character of Waren (as framed from the marina between the churches of Saint George and Mary)—prior to reunification—was considered a landmark achievement and had lasting repercussions into the future with other preservation and reconstruction programmes, the city’s uneasy balancing act between industry and nature eventually resolved and the place restored as a wellness resort (Kurort) and gateway to the lake district (Mecklenburgerisch Seenplatte). We found a nice pitch at the entrance of the national park in the forest on the shore of lake Müritz, named after the quarter Ecktannen on the outskirts of town.
